[little curly alan ball]

I havent understood a word since page 1 . As to comp stuff , God Bless You , Norton .
L.C.A.B.

Norton is EVIL. You need Nod32

I win by default. Your all PC losers. Enjoy your viruses and adware popping up trying to sell you [Poor language removed].

Yeah it really sucks.

Pretty much every time i come on GOT i get some dude trying to get me to buy an applemac.



Whats the cheapest decent mac laptop i could get? Wanna get a laptop at some point so may well take your advice if they arent too expensive.

I am willing to give up supporting Everton, and move over to the darkside and support Tranmere, if I am wrong. I am not wrong. Apple is best, and anyone who gives it a go will end up agreeing with me. I don't know a single person who has moved to Apple and regretted it.

I'm with Ghostie on this....

Vista, Microsoft, XP all suck; get a Mac!

Ah, the reason why so many don't have one, is they can't bloody afford one! Get a Mac

I'll say it again; Get a Mac....

Mac people get so defensive about their inferior machine.

Why get the computer with everything for cheaper when you get get the Corporately Branded one speed box, which costs a fortune and where everything is overpriced.

You've been brainwashed.

Oh what do you know? Half your country don't have dial up.

I can do this all day.

More money than sense, you mac lovers.

The ONLY reason Macs don't have as big a spyware problem (and they do have spyware/virus problems) is they don't have a userbase, it has nothing to do with the supposed superior security. Fact is OSX is full of exploits, its just there is no point in hackers exploiting Macs as noone uses them.

Plus add into the fact that all they are is over-priced PC's and Vista is 'repaired' after SP1, there is no reason to pay too much money on a white box.

I have both a MAC and a PC laptop. Can do all my media bits and bobs on the MAC and all the other boring stuff on the laptop. Solved.

Excuse me, 8 percent of the computing population thank you very much.

The most rubbish I have read since I read the last Bush State of Union address transcript.

Numbers don't mean quality mate. You have to know that.

Look, Microsoft and Bill Gates are genius. But Apple must be doing something right, look at the iPod and the iPhone? Completely changing the way we do things. Especially the iPod. So you can all say what you like about Apple, they know what is a good product and what isn't.

Also, do you not thing millions of people would be targetted via iTunes if there was a mac virus capable of penetration? I mean how big if the iTunes audience? has to be millions.

 

[Dylan]

And honestly, how many iTunes users are on Macs? The majority of Apples sutomers on iTunes is PC users.

Also what is up with the crap-ware that Apple have going on. When you do the iTunes udates it tries pawning all of it's software onto you. And I thought only 'big, bad companies' did that to you.
